HT MIAMI 56 Snot 50

Beans is playing offense pretty well. 45% from field, 36% (down) from 3, but defensively, not that it's JoeMaz' fault AT ALL, the "Heat" are shooting 52.6% (31.3%). The other key metrics are close: rebs are even;Beans 8 t.o.s, Miami 7.  JoeMaz can claim they didn’t lose the 2Q (27-27), only the 1st. Bam was quiet until late in the 2Q and I put that down to Spo. It reads like he was deliberately not going inside and the plan was to outshoot Beans--which we did according to the scoreboard. But then all of a sudden we started going inside generally, Bam got a few (10 pts for the half) and there were layups and dunks. Hatem and the veep are a combined -17 and have 15 points. Still, Beans is right there, reasonably could get dub. 3rd quarter is key.
